From Japan Today Online -

Why the Japanese Are a Superior People

Boyé Lafayette De Mente…covers the elements in Japan’s traditional culture that have made them remarkably successful in virtually all of their endeavors.

In addition to such topics as emotions vs. reason, the “fuzzy” [holistic] thinking of the Japanese vs the linear thinking of other people, the diligence factor in Japanese behavior, and quality vs profit, De Mente identifies a long list of views and practices that distinguish the Japanese from left-brain oriented people — and are important for foreigners to know about.

For foreign readers, one of the more interesting topics in the book may be what foreign women have to do to cope with their left-brain oriented male counterparts…

Ray’s Take: Uh…WHAT A DUMB ASS! I’ll bet this will be one of the sacred texts for the Japanese right wing imperialists for centuries to come. Just fucking brilliant.

About the Author

I'm a hardcore Anime Fan and I'm proud of it. I know so many things and I've acquired so much knowledge you wouldn't believe. But my love is anime. I've been drifting in this world for so long that I don't even know what an anchor means. I've seen so many shows that I've lost count. The only thing I'm sure of myself is that I care for the lowly and disenfranchised. I hate the rich and powerful and I love what I do, or what I can do. I like anime and I don't mind watching different types of shows. I have experience in different types of Japanese animation. I would be called an "expert" in a bizzaro world. One day, I'd like to start a revolution. I love the US, pizza, beer, sashimi, Chinese food, and steak. But I love freshly baked bread more than a well-aged steak. In reality, if I were born Japanese I'd be a real, hardcore Otaku. I love to love and I can hate strongly. I'm passionate in nature and I don't mind shedding tears.

Haha wow. I must get my hands on this book. I can only sense over-generalizations and ridiculous ‘facts’ but there may be some truth in there.

Thanks for the heads up.

@ Snark/Anamae – I just don’t understand what people believe. If I can find the book I guess I’ll definitely give it a try, but sheesh…
